i´m a absolute beginner and want to run a MS2 (upgradet from MS1 today) on a Daihatsu Charade GTti ( 3 cyl 1 liter turbo)
It has a 24/3 wheels (on cam)
If you have a spare CAS then removing two teeth like MOTEC suggest for their ECU will work with MS2/Extra right now, but you will need to buy or make a conditioning circuit for the second VR input.
However, we always try to use standard sensors and CAS etc. without cutting them up. A future version of MS2/Extra will likely support an option to support your trigger arrangement without cutting.
Does seem a bit odd that this was not designed onto the PCB if it is common to use this for VR setting. Using my JimStim I did need to set the pullup for the MS3 to see the RPM, so I am guessing I need the proto-pullup?
A VR input should not have that 1k pullup. Set the pots as per VR input. The stim doesn't output a real VR signal, so can sometimes require different settings.
I have now upgraded to the MS3X board and am having some trouble getting my JimStim to provide the correct signals. I have lost rpm.
I had it set up with the settings provided above and used the 12v pullup on the stim board to get it to work. Now with the MS3X I had to reset the settings in ignition and I have a not-synced error. This is despite trying both with and without pullup.
Will it work with JimStim? I am now trying to simulate a 24 tooth crank wheel at cam speed (so really a 12 tooth no missing teeth crankwheel), with a 1 tooth cam sensor signal (as I will remove 2 teeth from the current 3 tooth wheel). What should I set the DIP switches as?
OK, maybe I need to ask that on the jbperf.com forum, but my log in doesn't work there and I cant seem to use my email address again? Help?
Can you give me a list of settings that I can use for the setup I describe, to use at first with a distributor and coil?
If you use dual wheel mode you can set it to 12 crank teeth and 1 cam tooth. The option is definitely there. And yes you can run sequential with this setup.
Now that I have set the MS3X card set up as the second input (cam) in TunerStudio, how can I still run the JimStim? Will I need to take the tach signal from the jumper on the JimStim board up to the MS3X connector? At the moment I still have no tech signal when JimStim is connected (even though 24-2 wheel now chosen).
Is there a way to run JimStim with the MS3X cam input at all?
Or should I reconfigure to use the JS10 cam input for now and check the circuit like this? Then how am I checking the running of the MS3X card?
Is there any way to run the jim stim so that I get an rpm input, whilst the MS3X card is connected? I have tried my original settings, but now RPM does still not work. I guess I would have to disconnect the MS3X before it will work again?
Yes, to clarify, I meant WITHOUT the JimStimX or using a wire. I.e. should I be able to revert to the settings I had previously when using the MS3 alone and it works? It seems that with the MS3X plugged in, the original settings I had do not work, even though the configuration I have set up does not 'use' the MS3X inputs.
One other question - can the injection outputs from MS3X be re-ordered? Once they are wired, can I change the firing order in the configuration somewhere, or (as I have read) is it really a fixed order that must be considered in the wiring?

That doesn't seem right. The MS3X won't have any effefct.

OK, so something is wrong then. When I plug in the MS3X, even with the setings as per the original (working) configuration. I dont see RPM anymore. I will trouble shoot a little further and then come back with some details.
